SKU: AF-158 | Brand: Adafruit

Hall effect sensors detect whether a magnet is near. Useful for non-contact/waterproof type switches, position sensors, rotary/shaft encoders. I tried dozens of different hall effect sensors to see which one wou...

SKU: SF-SEN-10266 | Brand: SparkFun

Use this simple IR receiver for infrared remote control of your next project. With low power consumption and an easy to use package, it mates well with embedded electronics and can be used with common IR remotes. The...

SKU: SF-COM-16473 | Brand: SparkFun

The classic 555 timer/oscillator IC from Texas Instruments — one of the most versatile and widely used integrated circuits in electronics. With just a few external resistors and capacitors, it can generate timing dela...

SKU: AF-161 | Brand: Adafruit

CdS cells are little light sensors. As the squiggly face is exposed to more light, the resistance goes down. When its light, the resistance is about 5-10KΩ, when dark it goes up to 200KΩ. To use, connect one side o...

SKU: AF-157 | Brand: Adafruit

IR sensor tuned to 38KHz, perfect for receiving commands from a TV remote control. Runs at 3V to 5V so it's great for any microcontroller.To use, connect pin 3 (all the way to the right) to 5V power, pin 2 (middle) to...

SKU: AF-4489 | Brand: Adafruit

Run two solenoids, or a single DC motor with up to 800mA per channel using the super-simple L9110H H-bridge driver. This bridge chip is an 8 DIP package so it's easy to fit onto any breadboard or perfboard.Each chip c...

SKU: SF-SEN-10289 | Brand: SparkFun

This AT407 basic tilt switch can easily be used to detect orientation. Inside the can is a ball that make contact with the pins when the case is upright. Tilt the case over and the balls don’t touch, thus not making a...

SKU: SF-SEN-19018 | Brand: SparkFun

An Infrared detector is a detector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. These simple devices operate at 940nm and work well for generic IR systems including remote control and touch-less object sensing. Using a sim...

SKU: AF-4763 | Brand: Adafruit

These little chips are like miniature SSD drives for your electronics. When you don't need something with as much storage as a micro SD card, but an EEPROM is too small, SPI (or QSPI) Flash chips give you on-the-order...
